Were you at this year's San Diego Comic Comic Con? Did you happen to chat with someone dressed up as Sesame Street's Ernie? You could have actually been talking with Justin Timberlake. Although Justin was at Comic Con to promote his film In Time he took some time off to go the incognito route.

Justin Timberlake has admitted that going to Comic Con disguised as Ernie was one of the best days of his life because he wasn't bothered by paparazzi and fans. He and Esquire journalist Chris Jones donned Bert and Ernie costumes:

"I keep forgetting, when people ask to take our picture it's because I'm Ernie," he said. "It's not because I'm me." 

Chris suggested to Justin that he take the head off of his costume to give some girl a thrill, but Justin wasn't having it:

No way, dude. You have no idea what it's like," Timberlake said. "I can sometime walk around New York if I dress the right way, but that's it." 


"You're witnessing one of the most memorable days of my life," he proclaimed. 

While the trappings of success may be appealing, the thought of being swarmed every where you go is so unappealing and yet he handles it rather graciously.

That's an actual picture of Justin and Chris at Comic Con.

Following yesterday’s panel and Q & A at Comic Con, AMC has given us a kick-ass trailer for Season 2 of  their incredible new series “The Walking Dead”. Four minutes and thirty nine seconds worth! The series, based on a comic book of the same name created and written by Robert Kirkman, broke ratings records for the network when it debuted last year.

Gruesome Look at The Walking Dead Season 2!

In the trailer we see Andrew Lincoln’s Sheriff Rick Grimes continue to try to lead his struggling band of survivors to some sort of safety. But is anywhere safe? And the tensions within that group that began to surface in Season 1 are obviously mounting. While it does exponentially increase the possibilities in terms of where the story can go, is it a mistake to split up the group or will it be their salvation?

A few quotes from the panel via AMC’s twitter stream:

“{Andrew} Lincoln did most of his own stunts – even driving, and he only started to drive four years ago.”

“{Frank} Darabont: “It picks up 2 seconds after the end of season 1. It literally begins with them driving away from the CDC. There’s none of this six months later B-S.”

“{Norman} Reedus: “Dude, I run around with a crossbow and shoot zombies in the brain, it’s awesome.”

“The Walking Dead” features a cast that includes, in addition to Lincoln, Sarah Wayne Callies (“Prison Break”) as his wife Lori, Jon Bernthal (“The Class”, The Ghost Writer) as Deputy Shane Walsh, Laurie Holden (“The Shield”) as Andrea, Jeffrey DeMunn (The Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile among others) as Dale, Norman Reedus (The Boondock Saints) as Daryl Dixon, Steven Yeun (“The Big Bang Theory”) as Glen, Emma Bell (Frozen) as Amy and Chandler Riggs (Get Low) as Carl Grimes.

Below you’ll find a reel from Season 1 featuring all of the tried and true methods that will kill a zombie (or ‘Walker’):

“The Walking Dead” season 2 premieres Sunday October 16 at 9pm on AMC.

Hot on the heels of the new images and the cool retro looking poster, Comic Con has yielded a first teaser trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire starring MMA fighter Gina Carano, Channing TatumEwan MacGregor, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas, Bill Paxton and Michael Fassbender.

Here’s the official synopsis:

This dynamic action-thriller directed by Oscar® winner Steven Soderbergh boasts a talented cast and introduces mixed martial arts superstar Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, in a demanding lead role that has her performing her own high-adrenaline stunts.

Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive.

Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary.

Is it wrong I enjoyed the hell out of Gina Carano beating the crap out of Channing Tatum? I did not, however, like it when she mauled Michael Fassbender including a scissor lock with her thighs around his neck and throwing him through a glass door. She’s going to have to work hard to regain my sympathies after that one.

The trailer was presented at Comic Con during the Relativity Panel. The film doesn’t come out until January 20, 2012. Grrrrr.

Our newest boyfriend, Jason “Momoan” Momoa descended upon Day 1 of San Diego’s Comic Con yesterday in a big way. Pffft, I’m willing to bet that’s his standard modus operandi.

In any case, Jason was there for HBO’s “Game of Thrones” panel. If you look at the dais, he is clearly the biggest human on the stage. I find it amusing that not only did they seat him next to Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, wife of his character Khal Drogo (RIP), but they placed him next to Peter Dinklage. (Hey, I’m not making fun! But it was clearly someone’s idea to juxtapose the largest with the smallest!)

Now, ‘My Personal Idea of a Hawaiian Luau’ looked cool and appropriately bad-ass with the shades on, although I can see how some might think that a little too “hipster auteur” for Comic Con.  But…check it out! He took them off to reveal Khal Drogo Eyes! (Bette Davis? Pfffft) From the accounts I’ve read, he was the hit of the panel! Below are some excerpts from the transcript via Ant.ag:

3:13 p.m. On hand, we have a very bearded Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kit Harington, Lena Headey (with shades and a jaunty hat), Peter Dinklage (who receives a big piece of a Standing O, easily the biggest cheer of the panel), Jason Momoa (looking like a Dothraki rock star), Emilia Clarke (gorgeous, but dark-haired!) and showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

3:22 p.m. For Jason Momoa, {author George R. R.} Martin asks, “Who would win? Khal Drogo or Conan?” Well, if Martin didn’t ask, the fans would. Momoa responds, “Well, George, between you and me… Drogo would kick Conan’s ass.” Then Momoa yells something loud in what may or may not be Dothraki. Awesome.
3:23 p.m. Apparently Momoa was responsible for the scene in which Drogo rips out a rival’s throat. “I wanted to do something so it looked like he was just the baddest man in the world,” Momoa says, apologizing to Martin for deviating from the book.

{co-creator David}Benioff says that the DVD will include the first auditions for all of the actors. Benioff has particular praise for Jason Momoa’s audition. He adds that he found Momoa through message boards. “No offense, but I hadn’t heard of you before… I hadn’t kept up on my ‘Baywatch,’” Benioff cracks.
3:30 p.m. Momoa did a dance for his auditions. The fans want to see it, but Jason demurs. Asked about Dothraki, Momoa says it sounded like “Jabba the Hutt and Fozzie Bear.” Momoa describes his big “rape and pillage” Dothraki speech as his favorite scene from the series.

3:38 p.m. First audience question: How much of the actors read the books? … Momoa read through and was unhappy when he got to Drogo’s fate. “I f***ing hated you, man. I was like f*** this,” Momoa tells Martin. “Bring him back,” much of the audience yells at Martin, who promises to take it under advisement.
3:40 p.m. “Well, it keeps you on your toes,” Martin says in response to a question about why he kills off so many beloved characters.

3:53 p.m. “I’ve never been a part of anything remotely close to this,” Momoa says, when asked to compare working on a Sci Fi Channel show to working on an HBO show. He loves that scifi and fantasy shows let you “rip someone’s throat out and rape beautiful women.” For the record, that is what his character did. And realizing what he’s just said, Momoa looked incredibly embarrassed and hid his face in his coat as the audience laughed.

Questioner calls Momoa her “sun and stars” and asks him about doing fight scenes with long hair. He says it was easy and ends with, “Thank you, moon of my life.”  *THUD*  Dead, I tell you, dead. I’m typing this from my grave.

…but the Conan the Barbarian shenanagens continued yesterday! There was a meet and greet at the Lionsgate Booth with Jason, Rachel Nichols and Stephen Lang, and a Q & A with Movies on Demand and then our boo hosted, in conjunction with “The Hero Complex” blog, the “Barbarian Bar Invasion” at Bubs at The Ballpark!  Damn, why am I not in San Diego??

Hopefully I’ll have more from these two events. Conan the Barbarian opens in theaters August 19.

Yesterday the cast of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 opened the San Diego Comic Con to a lot of very excited people because not only were Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, and Elizabeth Reaser there in person, they previewed that honeymoon scene from Breaking Dawn but considering this site has some pretty big oinkers behind it, it’s the sex scene. Yeah, honeymoon, schmoneymoon. It was the sex scene we were all after.

Not only did we get a preview of that, but also word that even after Breaking Dawn Part 2, the Twilight Saga may very well carry on.  Aside from opening my closet door and finding George Clooney crouching in there in a French Maid outfit it doesn’t get much better than that. What?

The temperatures in North America are soaring and they are about to explode! Scenes from Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 have leaked onto the web because of it premiering this afternoon at Comic Con!

Oh man this is hot. Not the best quality but it is hot. I can imagine how hot it is when we see the actual movie. Excuse me while I go shower.
